Edith Novoa, paper artist and bookbinder
Bookbinder and paper artist, Edith Novoa creates unique books using high-quality materials and traditional techniques.
Her work in restoring ancient books is meticulous and respectful of the history of each piece.
She also crafts original collages, blending different papers and textures to bring forth one-of-a-kind artworks.
